The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon DLCV from Oakville is a stunning Cabernet Sauvignon, showing notes of graphite, vanillin, copious quantities of blackberry and cassis, licorice, a full-bodied mouthfeel, great structure and intensity, plus a long, long finish. Only 300 bottles, or one barrel, were produced of this wine that was a dedication cuvée to Kirk Venge's mother. In all likelihood, this is a 50-year wine.
